Parabéns ao @Publico por se manter interessado neste assunto. Um passo na direção certa, nas vésperas daquilo que poderá ser um salto gigante para a conservação de tubarões e raias em Portugal.

#BottomTrawling catches tonnes of unwanted #MarineLife 🐙🐠🌱
This means:
- Less capacity to store carbon 🫧
- Lower resilience to #ClimateChange ♨️🌎

Negotiations are underway for the Nature Restoration Law. The law would not only restore life on land but would #RestoreOcean ecosystems too. This is only possible if all sides agree to strong marine restoration measures. Get up to speed⬇️

🌊 Plastic devastates marine ecosystems!

Over 14M tons of plastic end up in oceans annually, harming marine life and causing $13B in damage

Let's #BeatPlasticPollution and protect our oceans!

@lfilipecastro Pelo menos são mexilhões. 🤷 Há uns anos, um site noticioso 🇵🇹 publicou uma notícia sobre um trabalho que fizemos no @Lemos_lab analisando contaminantes em tubarões e alguém decidiu usar uma foto de carpas para ilustrar o artigo. 👌

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

The time for climate-smart fisheries is now! 🎣
It requires:
- Cutting fossil fuel emissions ❌
- Rebuilding and maintaining fish biomass 🐟
- Safeguarding blue carbon habitats 🪸

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

"The only way to stop plastic pollution is at the source," says Deputy Vice President @VeraMPCoelho. Fishing for litter might clean the seabed for plastic, but it's also destroying vital marine ecosystems. We can only stop the plastic crisis by switching to #reusable solutions.

[Luís_MF_Alves @Luis_MF_Alves]

Parabéns à @WWF_Portugal pela organização de um dos eventos mais importantes na história da conservação de 🦈 em 🇵🇹. Foi um orgulho estar presente e contribuir para o relatório que será entregue ao grupo de trabalho governamental.

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

Citizens, big corporations, NGOs, and scientists all around Europe have already raised their voices to protect marine and terrestrial ecosystems: Members of the @Europarl_EN must vote YES to the Nature Restoration Law tomorrow! 

It's time to #RestoreOcean and #RestoreNature 🌊

[Vera Coelho @VeraMPCoelho]

Sem uma natureza vibrante, não temos nada. Sem natureza não há alimentos, não há economia, não há bem-estar, não há vida.
No dia 12 de julho, precisamos de representantes no @Europarl_PT que garantam o nosso futuro neste planeta.

🗯 We’re passionate about #storytelling for the #ocean. But we’re not a selfish bunch.

That’s why we’re launching a new Tuesday Tips series to help you craft more impactful content.

Let’s kick things off by talking about why using #ads need not be expensive or spammy 🧵

[Gonzalo Mucientes (@gmucientes.bsky.social) @gmucientes]

Based on multiple-event models applied to tag recovery data from >800 tagged sharks, we estimated that survival was higher for blue shark than mako. Fishing caused more than half of the total mortality and more than a third of the individuals dispersed permanently from the area.
